Because Jerusalem suffers from marginalisation, which led to the decline of the educational, cultural and sport sectors, a group of social activists in Jerusalem united to begin to bridge the gap. In its meetings, this group discussed the fields on which they can work to change this situation. After several meetings, a concept was crystallised for the group to form an institutional body to develop the educational, cultural and sporting status of the Jerusalemite community and increase the awareness of and guidance in the field of law. In 2013, Liqaa’ Association for Community Development was established as an independent NGO. It seeks to develop the capacities of the Jerusalemite youth in order to serve the Jerusalemite community.

Liqaa’ Association for Community Development promotes education and promotes an educational and cultural methodology to develop the Jerusalemite Community through non-curricular programmes and projects addressed for marginalised groups.
